Add a SharePoint client Side App (spfx) with Flow

Posted on by OrangeJuice1

A spfx webpart has been deployed to the App Catalog. It is not Tenant deployed.

I want this app to be available on some site collections only. Within 'Site Contents', I select 'add an app' where I can select the spfx webpart, which adds it to the site ready for use.This is ok.

I want to do the same with a flow. At the moment I create a site using flow HTTP request (REST) which creates a blank site. But I also want to add the webpart to the site. How can I do the same with a flow ?

Hi @OrangeJuice1 ,

I had the same requirement a little while back. Not sure if there is a REST API to do that.

You can either do this through CSOM or PnP / PowerShell. The challenge is then incorporating that into your flow.

I ended up using SharePoint PnP to alter the page JSON within an Azure Function to do this. You could also look at Azure Automation where you can create a PowerShell runbook. There is a Power Automate connector to create a Azure Automation job. I used Azure Function as there is a bit of delay in running the Automation Job.
